How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job

Chapter 105. Conclusion of the war ⑴

The northeastern front was not the only place where the Ernesian army continued to sound the news of victory.

Similarly, in the southern front, thanks to the large crossbows and equipment provided by Arell, they began to operate, and they smashed the Three Kingdoms Alliance forces one after another to the extent that it was similar to the northeastern front.

Faced with that staggering reality, the heads of the Three Kingdoms Alliance had to grit their teeth until their molars were worn out every time they received news of defeat.

From the beginning, it was expected that the Southern Front, which was directly commanded by a high-ranking knight experienced in war and King Theonel, would struggle.

However, I never thought that the Northeast Front would be defeated again and again.

At this point, even if they were confident in the early days of the war, they could not help but worry about this unfavorable war situation.

Emperor of the Merman Empire. Chederan Amret Janil.

Despite his advanced age, the old man, who had a charisma that would never be outdone even when compared to other strong men, let out a long sigh, unaware that the wrinkles were getting deeper.

“How did this happen…?”

Now he was sitting alone in a room without servants, let alone other servants, muttering.

But it wasn't self-talk.

A translucent object in the form of a square was placed in front of him, and someone else's voice was coming out of it.

This is a communication tool developed to enable long-distance conversation.

“I want to complain the same way…. A

similarly sad voice.

The other party sighing in the same sense is the king of the kingdom of Damaniel.

Although it should have been a reliable partner who jumped into this war together.

Now, for some reason, he is nothing more than an old man who sighs.

“...It is time to come up with countermeasures rather than lament.”

And another person in the conversation, Grand Duke Adran of the Principality of Sefen, tries to keep his tone as calm as possible, but is faintly tired.

The feelings of the other two kings must have been very frustrating, but he, who was in the position of direct commander, was more annoyed, and there was no way to feel comfortable.

“As you requested, we mobilized the entire army. And yet, such a result...

The emperor was speechless.

The entire military mobilization order itself was bound to be a considerable burden to them.

In particular, it was the Merman Empire that had the largest number of slaves that had to be squeezed out the most. Of course there are bound to be complaints.

If you win the war, you don't know, but if you lose, how will you make up for the labor of the lost slaves?

The most serious problem now is that we continue to lose those precious troops after losing battles over and over again.

Again, I don't know if I win.

If defeated... there will only be serious dark clouds behind it.

“...I have no face in that. I will make no excuses.”

Adran didn't have anything to say.

But it is also true that there were no options.

Had they not mobilized their entire army, the troops of Ernesia Kingdom would have already flocked to their borders by now.

If you lose anyway, the future is cloudy even if you don't squeeze out all your strength.

But in the end, even after making such a judgment, there is nothing to say as it is in a position where it has repeatedly lost.

“Isn’t it pointless to blame him now?”

In the end, the king of the kingdom of Damaniel, who had not heard of it, had to intervene.

“What matters is the future.”

It is not simply to say who is responsible for starting this secret communication now.

It was for future measures.

“...I didn't mean to blame him.”

The emperor at least knew that he had no choice.

It was just that my mind was blurry for a moment without even realizing it.

“What do you think the future will be like in the eyes of Lord Adran?”

“…would you like an honest opinion?”

Ask the opinions of the grand dukes of other countries, not even the knights of their own country.

do you really want to hear it?

At Adran's words, the emperor nodded.

“Tell me.”

After all, aren't we already on the same boat?

There is nothing to shy away from.

You don't need to dress up.

In order to listen to honest opinions and share opinions as they are, he dared to use expensive and mana-consuming communication tools.

Only then did Adran honestly assess the current situation.

“The result is already close to defeat.”

About half of the large force was lost.

The morale of the allies is already cut in half.

“The problem is that with the current troops, no matter how well they operate, they can't withstand the weapons of the Ernesia Kingdom.”

The most annoying thing is the crossbow that fires those large arrows nonstop.

After getting a bitter taste of it for the first time, using an undercover agent, he manages to reveal its true identity? I was astonished when I put out my tongue.

“...I heard that it was also made by that little boy named Arell.”

“Unbelievable, but true.”

After the spies risked their lives to get information about the large crossbow, they tried to imitate it somehow.

In the short term it was impossible.

I'll cover the cost somehow.

No engineer in the country has been able to give an answer to what kind of structure it has to create a weapon that can fire at that rate.

“...a craftsman said this.”

The father-in-law in the kingdom of Damaniel read the report brought by the spies over and over again and said this.

“Whoever designed it is a monster.”

The other two were silent.

The moment I agreed, I felt something in my head break.

After being silent for a long time, the emperor barely...

uttered something.

“What would happen if I were to bite the military right now?”

“your majesty?”

When a completely unexpected opinion came out, Adran raised a surprised voice.

It was none other than the Emperor of the Empire who made a weak voice.

Of course, it can be said that it is a secret contact.

I wouldn't be able to say something like this even in front of my servants.

There is a voice that can be raised because leaders with the same heart.

Upon hearing this, the King of the Kingdom of Damaniel and the Grand Duke of Adran sympathized with the emperor's opinion rather than criticizing it as a weak sound.

The biggest loss now is the Merman Empire.

If we lose more troops than this, we will be worried about what to do with farming next year.

In that respect, neither the Kingdom of Demaniel nor the Principality of Sefen were free.

“Either side is over.”

But don't just admit defeat.

They had already declared war, which was almost forced, and started a war.

If we admit defeat here, what will we do to deal with it?

At least public opinion will completely turn away from them.

It was an irreversible war from the beginning.

Of course, they had no intention of gambling.

Common sense pushes them 3 to 1, but there is no way they can overcome that.

Strategize well enough.

It was also a war waged only after careful deliberation and deliberation over and over again.

In fact, at the beginning of the war, it was being released as expected.

if there were variables.

“...I never thought Arell Ernesia would bother me that much.”

It was not assumed that his influence would extend to the war.

It was a very common sense decision.

It was the result of the other person being a person with no common sense.

“…We have to use our hands somehow.”

Adran said in a heavy tone.

“What number is there?”

“First of all, we have to take the time.”

What is lacking is time.

You have to find a new weakness of the enemy somehow.

If it doesn't work out, you have to use all kinds of dirty numbers.

However, if you want to use all of them, there is not enough time right now.

“Right. Are you trying to pass the time?”

The king of the Kingdom of Damaniel realized what Adran was trying to do.

The Emperor of the Empire also understood.

“...It's time, so let's pretend to be peace friends.”

All they can do now is pretend to negotiate first.

Even though Ernesia Kingdom is winning victories, they must be tired too.

I will definitely answer if you ask for a conversation.

“We need to prolong the negotiations as long as possible.”

After all, the purpose of negotiations is to buy time.

False bargaining to find a path to victory, not surrender.

I need it now.

Pride is not something that a country's leaders insist on.

“Okay. Send a letter to negotiate

right away.

Someone knocked on the tightly closed door from outside.

“hmm? What is it?”

Since no one told me to take it in, I had no choice but to go out and listen to it.

If it's not urgent, I told you not to look for yourself now, so it won't be a normal business.

Reluctantly, the emperor told the other two to wait and listened to the matter.

Hearing the report in a low voice, inaudible to the other two, the emperor's face was stained with astonishment.

“…What? Is that true!!”

I was surprised, forgetting that the communication tool was still working.

But don't worry about the other two listening.

At just the right time, voices that shocked the other two also came over the communication port.

Now they were getting the worst news.

While the leaders of the three countries were discussing future plans with each other, the army of the Kingdom of Ernesia moved more busily.

The defense of border forts has already been solid.

On the other hand, the morale of the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms Alliance was weakened. This was an incomparable opportunity.

“Many young people were sacrificed in front of the enemy's greedy sword. Now it's your turn to bring this pain back to them!”

King Theonel of Ernesia Kingdom shouted with his fists clenched in anger at the invasion.

You can't be satisfied with just defense.

Now that the momentum of victory has clearly moved in this direction, now is the time to pay back many times over.

King Theonel decided to march the Ernesian army towards the Three Kingdoms.

They divided their armies into three branches, each heading towards the three kingdoms that led this invasion.

Of course, the Three Kingdoms Alliance could not easily allow an invasion, so they firmly went into defense.

However, the defense was meaningless.

The Ernesia Kingdom army slowly and surely began to choke their breath.

In front of the border fortress of the kingdom of Demaniel, Arell's troops were confronted in the front line, and Ernesia Kania pointed to the fortress that was firmly defended.

“Can I break that down?”

“Your sister. Break it all you want.”

Arell nodded and allowed me to swing the sword as I pleased.

When concentrating on defense, Kania rarely stepped out, but it was different when attacking.

In particular, to her who is full of confidence in doing her part to destroy it, now is the same as a dedicated stage.

If not now, when will you break it to your heart's content?

As Kania grabbed the treasured sword passed down from generation to generation and wielded it with all her might, a long, deep blue river of sword came out and split the castle gate.

It must have been all kinds of protective magic.

It must have been too much magic to handle her sword.

In an instant and in vain, the gates were cut off.

“Don't let the enemies in! Stop it somehow!”

A shrieking sound was heard from inside the shattered castle gate.

Eventually, after the door was destroyed, the knights of the Kingdom of Damaniel came out and attacked her to stop her.

Even in front of them desperately rushing at the risk of their lives to defend the castle, Kania just stood there leisurely.

“Hmm? Is it slow?”

Judging by her standards, the speed at which they rushed at them was extremely slow.

The knights of the Ernesia Kingdom tried to fight back, but Kania stopped them by waving his sword-free hand.

It's a sign that you don't have to intervene.

“This is enough for me alone.”
